Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to image processing and more particularly to the processing of images for printing by digital printing techniques.
  • Printing is a process that involves the production of black and white or color documents on a variety of substrates, predominantly paper. These documents may consist of single or multiple pages.
  • the pages may be conventional (without bleed) or pages with bleed. Bleed is defined as “any image that goes directly to the edge of paper, seeming to run off (bleed) from the sheet” (See “Getting it Printed” by Mark Beach, North Light Books, Cincinnati, 1993, Page 107).
  • the bleed size can be explicitly defined by a DTP application, when placing the elements on the pasteboard, overflowing from the page area. Publication designers commonly consider the entire production process, including finishing, and indicate the pages to be printed with bleed. This is done by providing files with proper embedded bleed information. Sometimes, a hard copy record accompanies the job printing instructions to assist the printer.
  • the emerging digital printing process is different from the traditional one in a number of major aspects. Pages are printed on precut paper, and in many cases, standard size paper is used. Additionally, there is no “prepress” stage between the document origination stage (design) and the printing stage, and no hard copy proof accompanies the job.
  • the pages with embedded bleed are defined as pages of a larger size than other pages in the same document.
  • the pages with bleed must be identified prior to printing, extracted from the document, printed on a larger sheet of paper that will be trimmed later and manually introduced into a collated document. If such a page identification operation, which is interactive, is not performed, the entire document will be printed on larger paper, and it will then be necessary to trim it in the course of the finishing process.
  • Such a printing method causes additional paper waste and increases the cost of printing.
  • the printer will have to generate the bleed using interactive prepress tools.
  • the page will have to be modified.
  • the above drawback impedes faster transition from conventional to digital printing methods because of the lack of capability to support a fully automated digital printing workflow. It is the purpose of the present invention to offer a method and apparatus that enables an automated digital printing workflow, including recognition and generation of pages with bleed as well as a method to print them digitally.
  • the document may include both pages without bleed and pages with bleed.
  • the pages may be printed by an apparatus that operates on the basis of electrostatic printing, thermal printing, ink jet printing or any other digital printing technique on paper or on any other media, the selection of which may be included in the document.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method of automatically, digitally printing documents containing both images on pages with and without bleed, where both, the pages with bleed and the pages without bleed, are printed on regular paper, precut to size, and where the pages with bleed and without bleed are electronically collated into one document.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a method of digitally printing pages with bleed of a document, where the images to be printed are supplied in digital form and where the information for printing is generated automatically, comprising the steps of identifying and marking pages with bleed, calculating image size on pages with bleed, determining whether the pages should be printed on a single sized printing medium, and printing all pages of the same document on a selected printing medium when a single sized medium is selected.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a digital printing apparatus system for printing pages, some of which have bleed, where the images to be printed are supplied in digital form and where the bleed information for printing is generated automatically comprising, a digital front end having an input, a digital printing engine having at least two print medium sizes on line, said digital front end having interface means for connection with said printing engine for driving it, input source means for connection to the input of said digital front end for providing information in digital form to said digital front end for control of said digital printing engine for pages with and without bleed on appropriate size print medium.

  • the page is supplied to the printer in digital form on magnetic and/or similar storage media or via communication lines in a widely spread PostScript or PDF data format.
  • the page parameters include a definition for bleed size and data to print in the bleed area 50 of the page 40 .

  • the page is supplied to the printer in digital form on magnetic and/or similar storage media or via communication lines in a widely spread PostScript or PDF (portable data format).
  • the page parameters include a definition of bleed size and data to print in the bleed area 92 of the page 80 .
  • the specification of the bleed size is performed by the designer and is usually represented by cutting marks shown on the background of a paper sheet larger than the required size of the page.
  • the bleed size is specified as 10 mm. and is clearly shown in the bleed specification field 100 of the Inspector window 102 of FreeHand.
  • a similar, identical page 106 without bleed is shown, representing part of the same document.
  • the program will instruct the machine to use the same size, standard precut sheet as for pages without bleed, and the page with bleed will be printed to the edges of the paper.
  • the page with bleed will be printed to the edges of the paper.
  • the printed document will be electronically collated. The flow chart for this printing process is also shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the steps of the method exemplified by FIG. 6 for a file of a multipage document involves the identification of the presence of bleed in the file. If there is no bleed, all pages of the document would be printed on regular, precut paper, as illustrated. However, when the presence of bleed is indicated, identification and marking of the pages with bleed is effected, and calculation of the image size is performed for these pages. As shown in FIG. 6, a determination of whether the pages should be of one size has to be made. If a single size of regular, precut paper is required, the process follows the left hand column of the figure for the print operation. The middle column of the figure covers the steps required for multisized paper.
  • FIG. 5A is a screen capture that illustrates a typical document paper size specification window of a PostScript Printer Driver (PPD).
  • PPD PostScript Printer Driver
  • the driver supports only one paper size, in this example A 4 , indicated by a numeral 110 .
  • a 4 the size of the finished document
  • the designer will specify paper for printing of a size larger than A 4 , so that all of the document pages will be printed on a larger paper size than the required A 4 size.
  • FIG. 5B is a screen capture that illustrates a typical document paper size specification window of a PostScript Printer Driver (PPD) that operates in accordance with the present invention and supports more than one paper size for the printing of the same document
  • the program that performs the automatic bleed detection will detect the bleed size specification. Once the bleed size specification is detected, the printing may proceed in two directions:
  • the program will generate a bounding box corresponding to the size of the page+bleed. Then, it will process and generate the data to be recorded, and depending on the print run length required and finishing equipment available, the program will automatically separate the pages with bleed and print them separately on larger than required paper. These sheets of papers will later be trimmed and manually introduced into a collated document. The pages without the bleed will be printed on a regular precut to size paper sheets.
  • the flow chart for this printing process is illustrated in FIG. 6 .
  • the program will generate a bounding box corresponding to the size of the page+bleed, and process and generate the data to be recorded.
  • the method involves the checking whether the background is a color, and if so, the program will extend the bounding box to accommodate the size of the image needed to generate a page with bleed. Following this, the program will continue to look for design elements other than the background, which are present on the page and extend to the edge of the page. If such elements are present in the file, the program will continue to check further in order to verify whether the color of the elements extending to the edge of the page differs from the background color. If design elements that extend to the edge of the page are present in the file, the program will generate a bounding box corresponding to the size of the page+bleed, and process and generate the data to be recorded. Then, the program will proceed according to one of the possibilities described above; i.e. print on standard or oversized paper. If design elements that extend to the edge of the page are not present in the file, then the page is conventional, does not require a bleed, and may be printed like any other page.
  • the bleed specifications have not been introduced by the designer during the design stage of a multipage document, this does not mean that the information required for bleed generation is not present in the file or document. Should there be a requirement to introduce bleed on some of the pages, the document will be conventionally returned to the designer for modification of the appropriate pages.
  • digital printing the information to be printed on the bleed area may be generated or extrapolated from the design elements existing on the page. To enable this, the operator interactively identifies and marks the pages to be printed with bleed, and the program acts according to the flow diagram of FIG. 7 .
